Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion share the spoils in the Premier League as they play out a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park. First-half goals for Joel Veltman and Sean Longstaff could not be added to following the interval, and a frustrating miss for Harvey Barnes in the late stages saw the Magpies fail to improve on their 2.26 xG performance. The Seagulls mustered 1.32 xG in response, but faded in both halves without further impact. Dropped points means the hosts are just three ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United however, with both still to play this weekend. Until the next time, thank you for joining us and good bye!

The crowd are even less happy with a challenge on Gordon, which sees the Newcastle attacker down in the Brighton box. The referee is content to let play rumble on. We will have five added minutes.
